Ok I will try to be more clear. Im sorry if my english is not that 
perfect ;)

Using ssh from main you can use IPv6 but it needs to be specified as 
option both for the daemon and the client
For example ssh -6 (client) and Listen :: (daemon)

Using ssh from my archive IPv6 is enabled by default that means: sshd 
will listen automatically to ::
the client will first attempt a connection via IPv6 and in case it fails 
will automatically switch to ipv4

This is done removing

--with-ipv4-default

from debian/rules when it calls the ./configure
